Frequently asked questions about Coronavirus: To travel or not to travel? In addition, tattoos and vaccines can mix.


Airports are becoming busiest, but the centers for control and prevention of diseases have not issued new guidelines for vaccinated persons. So, what is a Wannabe traveler vaccinated to do?

That question can be better answered with a healthy choir of all that depends.

With 26% of the population at least partially vaccinated, the temptation to return to pre-pandemic life is high. The problem is that, although it is praiseworthy, that percentage is not enough to reopen safely, says Charlotte Baker, an assistant professor of Epidemiology at Virginia Tech.

And placing the CDCs in the position of giving some people the green light to travel when not all have had the opportunity to get vaccinated, it says, raises some thorny ethical problems. "Then he gets into the passports of the vaccine and those who have and have, they can not travel."

Health officials will probably learn from spring break at Miami Beach, the amount of risk that disseminates when you have people traveling from everything to a place. The mayor issued an emergency state when students who still do not qualify to recover the vaccine against the popular destination of spring break.

Then there is the problem of the variants. This week, Florida became the first state of exceeding 1,000 cases of Variant of Covid-19. "With the variants, the more people travel, plus the Muís," says Baker. "And everything that is needed is a person who takes it, so it is better to keep the number of people moving down."

"Some say that vaccines do a really good job against variants; others say they do not know, and it's hard to replace the lid once it is off," she says.

Until you have a new CDC guide, what is the best way to navigate the decision to travel? For that, we headed to Dr. Henry Wu, director of Emory Travelwell Center and an associate professor of infectious diseases at Emory University School of Medicine.

"I think that if traveling, it should still travel or not about the consideration of risk against the importance of the trip," says Wu, which adds that it is perfectly acceptable to be held by embracing a member of the family as important.

Vaccines have mitigated the risk, but we do not return to the pre-pandemic world, he points out. The general threshold when it comes to the "why", which travels must still be higher than normal, even if it is vaccinated. Wu has not been on a plane from the pandemic, but the importance rate of it can soon lean towards visiting the elderly of him in Hawaii, he says.

"I have a father whose health is marginal," he says. Now that he and the parents of him have been vaccinated, "I am thinking that the risk can be overcome by the importance of seeing it."

If you go, here are the Wu suggestions.

Seeing only vaccinated people would be safer indoors or exteriors. If you see unvaccinated people, or other people who are not completely vaccinated, be sure to maintain all precautions of distancing and social masking at stake.

Most airlines are not holding more open seats, and security lines can become normal. Therefore, it is more important to wear a good mask that snaps well and stay as far as possible from others. That protects both the user mask and others around them, since we do not know how much vaccinated people may or may not transmit the virus.

Consider reserving an AIRBNB or VRB instead of a hotel if it will help you avoid elevators or crowded lobbies.

Quarantine and test before and then, even if it is vaccinated. "It's a small headache in the great scheme of things," says Wu, and could help control the spread of variants.

Consider a trip to a state or national park with many outdoor options, and skip the cruise for now because there are too many closed spaces and not enough people vaccinated.

If he is visiting someone with a high risk of Covid-19 complications, double down on his precautions, says Wu, adding that he is probably carrying a mask when he visits his parents.
